Neil Young's Past Affairs And Relationships
Young married his first wife, restaurant owner, Susan Acevedo in December 1968. The couple managed to be together for two years until they filed for divorce in October 1970.
He was in a long-term relationship with actress Carrie Snodgress in 1970. The couple welcomed their son Zeke Young on 8 September 1972.
They maintained their relationship for as long as 5 years.
Young met his future wife Pegi Young in 1974; the moment when she was working as a waitress at a diner near his ranch. The couple married in 1978 and blessed with two kids Ben Young born in 1978 and Amber Jean Young born in 1984.
The couple was so much into each other that they collaborated in music and co-founded the Bridge School in 1986.
Though everything was perfect in the family, Young was devastated when Amber was diagnosed with epilepsy. Both Ben and Zeke were diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
After 36 years living together, Young filed for divorce on 29 June 2014. Pegi addressed the split on an album of her own named 'Raw'.
The album is a mix of covers and originals songs co-written by Pegi and her bandmate Spooner Oldham.
Talking about her divorce, she said,
"We were having a rough patch. But I never would've thought in a million years we would be getting divorced. So, yeah, there was a bit of a shock value there."
She explained,
"Writing [Raw] was very cathartic for me. What happened was real, but I also look at this record as having a universal quality to it. I'm certainly not the only one to go through a late-in-life divorce, and I'm not going to be the last."
Pegi maintains her personal life under wrap. Still, we know Neil has moved on with a new love.
